23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of Russia's Kunstkamera Museum in St Petersburg. The focal point is a mesmerizing ceiling painting that depicts the mythological tale of Phaeton, driving his father's sun chariot across the sky. The artist skillfully brings this ancient story to life with vibrant colors and intricate details. The observatory, located within the museum, provides an ideal setting for this celestial masterpiece. As visitors gaze up at the baroque-style ceiling adorned with signs of the zodiac, they are transported into a world where mythology and astronomy intertwine. The Kunstkamera Museum itself holds great historical significance as it was established by Peter the Great in 1727 as part of his Academy of Sciences. It became a symbol of enlightenment during its time and remains an architectural gem on Vasilevsky Island. Mikhail Lomonosov, one of Russia's greatest scientists, played a crucial role in shaping this institution. His contributions to both science and education are commemorated throughout the museum. For those seeking cultural immersion or travel enthusiasts exploring Eastern Europe, St Petersburg offers an array of fascinating destinations like this one. This print serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries – transcending time and place to inspire awe and wonderment wherever it may be displayed.
